Disease relevance of Igfbp6

  • Up-regulation of these binding proteins has been observed in association with actions of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) in prostate cancer cells, and the data suggest a role for IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-6 in the suppression of prostate tumor cell growth [1].
  • This study describes the expression of the mouse IGFBP-6 which is unique among IGFBPs in its preferential binding of IGF II, in insect cells using the baculovirus system [2].
  • By stably expressing IGFBP-6 sense or anti-sense mRNA in the EL-4 line of mouse thymoma cells, it was possible to isolate clones in which IGFBP-6 expression was increased or decreased [3].
 

High impact information on Igfbp6

  • A significant difference was found in the patterns of IGFBP expression; production of both messenger RNA and protein for IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-6 was greatly increased in the M12asBP4 and ALVA31asBP4 cell lines [1].
  • Exogenous Shh peptide induced expression of Igfbp-6 in the developing prostate while the chemical inhibitor of Hedgehog signaling, cyclopamine, reduced its expression [4].
  • Among the six IGFBPs, IGFBP-2, -5, and -6 were detected in the mouse taste buds: IGFBP-2 and -5 immunoreactivity was seen in the majority of the taste bud cells, whereas IGFBP-6 immunoreactivity was found in the nerve fibers innervating the taste buds [5].
  • We also report distinct disturbances in the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 6 and several neuropeptides at 2 and 3 weeks of age, that is, before an obvious behavioural phenotype can be observed [6].
  • The purified, O-glycosylated IGFBP-6 was functional as shown by IGF binding and by inhibition of IGF II-stimulated DNA synthesis in human fibroblasts [2].
